I was also able for example to update the microcode of my Asus U36SD laptop, bought in late 2012, with the microcode released by Intel. My cpu model that I searched for inside the list at the link, from cpuinfo: model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70GHz >From dmidecode on this system that is now on Fedora 28 it confirms the latest Bios version released by Asus: Handle 0x0000, DMI type 0, 24 bytes BIOS Information Vendor: American Megatrends Inc. Version: U36SD.206 Release Date: 09/26/2011 and by dmesg you can see the microcode update released on February by Intel: [ 0.000000] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0x2d, date = 2018-02-07 [ 0.000000] Linux version 4.16.10-300.fc28.x86_64 ( [email protected]) (gcc version 8.1.1 20180502 (Red Hat 8.1.1-1) (GCC)) #1 SMP Mon May 21 14:41:48 UTC 2018 And there is another update released on late April I didn't apply yet...
